## Engagement
- status: peak_post_only
- peak_post_engagement_rate: 0.00104
- best_post_interactions: 72
- measurement_source: x_post_interactions
- measurement_formula: interactions on one post — likes, or likes + reposts + replies depending on the discovery path (the two are not distinguishable in the stored data)
- comparable_pool: peak_interactions
- status_note: We have only the single best observed post, so no mean exists. peak_post_engagement_rate is an UPPER BOUND, systematically higher than an average — never compare it against an average rate.
- unit_note: engagement_rate and peak_post_engagement_rate are ratios (0-1); avg_interactions_per_post and best_post_interactions are absolute counts. Read status before reading any number: a null rate has several different causes and status says which one applies here.

## Evidence
- [x_jlippincott#d1cc419e] In fairness, the US spent 5 trillion dollars to give women in the Middle East the right to vote. Turns out the neocons were a bit fuzzy on *where* they would be voting. Ah, well, nevertheless... (https://twitter.com/jlippincott/status/2027464693778886711)
- [x_jlippincott#665c7f19] The problem isn't the retailers, it is the "youths" driving illegally, but Mamdani cannot prosecute these uncontrolled socio-economic factors for obvious DSA reasons so he goes after Big Bidness instead.
- [x_jlippincott#a9d2f0ec] I don't care about being called heartless. We need to get rid of the New Deal welfare state, nuke entitlements, slash payroll taxes to zero, and repeal Hart-Celler. These are actually good and kind things to do. Stealing money is wrong.
- [x_jlippincott#492356b4] I'm not asking the government to give me $20 burritos. I'm asking the government to stop stealing my money so it can give $20 burritos to others.
- [x_jlippincott#99e61af8] The same people telling Zoomers to suck it up over food prices would never ever tell retirees to get a job i

- commercial.audience_buyer_fit: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.6, freshness_days=77, method=llm_scorer — Relative signal within Koinon indexing, not a market-wide score.
- commercial.promotion_intent: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.6, freshness_days=77, method=llm_scorer
- quality.anomaly_flags: source_type=heuristic, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=108, method=profile_snapshot_and_engagement_ratio_heuristic — Means "worth a manual check", NOT confirmed fraud. Flags can be wrong and are not a verdict about the person.
- quality.authenticity_score: source_type=heuristic, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=77, method=Profile-shape heuristic from a single snapshot (follower count, following ratio, account age, posting volume, verification), reduced for engagement red flags where post engagement was collected. Where only a follower count is available the score saturates at 58. — The input set differs by platform; do not compare this score across platforms.
- quality.koinon_bd_grade: source_type=ai_inferred, confidence=0.5, freshness_days=108, method=llm_partner_fit_classifier + fit_score >= 0.6 AND authenticity >= 60 => A; fit_score >= 0.4 AND authenticity >= 45 => B; else C. authenticity < 30 or a promotional-pattern flag => quarantine. — Koinon partner-outreach fit, not creator quality.
